12 x 100 - 12 x 5
distributive property
Set up your two equations:
<span>9x+7y=53 </span>
<span>3x+5y=25 </span>
<span>X=cost per pound of jelly bean </span>
<span>Y=cost per pound of trail mix </span>
<span>Multiply the second equation by (-3): </span>
<span>-9x-15y=-75 </span>
<span>+ 9x+7y=53 <---- copy first equation and add them </span>
<span>—————— </span>
<span>0x-8y=-22 </span>
<span>Then solve for y: </span>
<span>Y=2.76 this is your cost per pound of trail mix. </span>
<span>Then plug y back in to one of the original equations and solve for x: </span>
<span>3x+7(2.75)=25 </span>
<span>X=3.75 this is you cost per pound of jelly beans</span>
145 divided by 7 =20.71
a little sketch on my answer <span />
<em><u>Convert to factored form is:</u></em>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,

We have to convert to factored form
Factored form means writing terms in multiplication. i.e as a product
From given,

Factor out x from above given expression

Here, the given equation is written as product of "x" and (x + 6)
Thus the factored form is found
